Working with Jobs - Overview
Job pages give you the ability to post jobs to a job page, which has been created in either the Job Tracking or Sales Tracking application, onto one or more company career sites.
When you combine a job page with an applicant login or profile page, you have created a full career site.
If you have previously decided not to create a web applicant signup page, then you will be limited to getting applicant resumes via email.
Applications used to create Jobs/Requisitions
There are two different applications within SmartSimple that can create and manage jobs – Sales Tracking and Job Tracking.
- If your company is involved in placing people or providing consulting services where you supply people, you should use Sales Tracking.
- If your company hires for internal use, only you should use the Job Tracking application.
The differences between sales and Job Tracking as they relate to Applicant Tracking, are outlined as follows:
Sales Tracking
- Each job is created as a “sales opportunity”.
- Each job has a forecasted revenue, close date and probability.
- Job statuses track the selling process around the job opportunity.
- Contacts roles define selling roles such as “decision maker”, “buyer”, “technical buyer” etc.
Job Tracking
- Each job is created as a “job requisition”.
- Job statuses track the approval process around the job requisition.
- Contact roles define hiring roles such as “interviewer”, “external evaluator”, etc.
Regardless of which application you use to create a job, all the jobs will be displayed in Applicant Tracking in the Jobs tab.
From this tab you can assign applicants, but you cannot change the basic details of the position.
